Hy simstash and welcome. I`m sorry to hear that you have some problems and i hope that you will find the power and the advises to get over this period. Unfortunately i had diabetes only for 1 year and i really don`t know what to advise you.
I`m from romania as Heather said but i really think that your country is more developed then mine. But i sure understand the way your doctors react at your problems or better said don`t react at your problems because the same thing happen to me.

It's really sad when the health care professionals who are supposed to be helping us actually don't listen to what we say. No body knows how you feel but yourself and you deserve to be listened to. Just keep doing internet searches and asking questions. We will all help where we can.

PS HANG IN THERE !!!!!!!!!!! IT WILL GET BETTER.

Belinda - thanks, i'm hoping for that too. I probably won't be able to come here every day but whenever i do i'll be scraping the knowledge all you guys leave on here some tips that i've read have really been helpful. I remember visiting another onlline diabetes forum but there was alot of bickering going around and people posting provoking stuff. I haven't been there since but it is is so much different here.
HeatherP - that's ok, i must confess i don't know the exact geographical layout of the United States either (looking at Bay Area in your sig i can't even tell if it is in the states). But yes we are almost neighbours with Romania.
Portok - thank you for the welcome. Don't say unfortunately though, the shorter your diabetes history the better! I think one of the reasons they are so lame and slow to help us might be that they're state employed as opposed to being in their own business. I might be wrong though. As long as we're backed up with other sources of help we should be fine, as Gettingby says. Living with diabetes we're forced to be our own doctors.
Gettingby: thanks for the support. Don't you find it absurd that although a lot of diabetitians are diabetics as well, it doesn't actually make much difference?
Anyway, only the most positive of thoughts keep you going.  |
